So guys, any thoughts on the built in adblocker in opera? How good is it with popups? Is it better/worse than adblock or adguard? What's your experience?

Thank you.

Well, adblocker and popup blocker are different features.

Popup blocker may fail sometimes, depending on how the popup is triggered.

I'm using both (internal one and AdBlock); to conserve resources I have unchecked Easylist in AdBlock properties.

Popups are more like javascript feature and not easily avoided by ad-blocker (unless popup loading script is fetched from blocked site); depend on site I have javascript disabled too.
